Killeen tattoo parlor joins statewide defiance of governor's mandate

Owners of a Killeen tattoo parlor opened for business Friday, in spite of the latest mandate by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott restricting their operations during the current phase of the COVID-19 recovery.

Holey Moley Tattoos and Piercings at 204 N. Fort Hood St. Suite C is the only local shop joining a statewide push back by tattoo parlors choosing to defy the governor’s order, according to Olika Sanchez, a manager at the tattoo shop. Her husband, Moley Sanchez, is the owner.

“The only other shop in the area that we are aware of that’s open is Infamous Ink in Waco,” Olika Sanchez said. “We are not trying to go to war with the officials, we just want answers and more clarification. All of us want answers.”

Sanchez said she personally emailed the governor’s office and the health department to get clarification as to why tattoo parlors are unable to open at this time, but her emails have not been returned.
